"Now I'm going to demonstrate another type of Pranayam called the Sheeth Kari Pranayam. Also known as the hissing breath Pranayam. Hissing, because of the noise that it makes when we inhale. It is similar to the Shitali Pranayam and is as miraculous in it's healing powers as the Shitali. Let's do the Sheeth Kari Pranayam. The back should be straight, the hands as I am just demonstrating. Gently close your eyes. The upper lip is touching my palate. Clench the teeth together and separate the lips as much as possible. Now inhale through the teeth making a hissing sound.

Also known as the hissing breath."
